In the song Joe Talbot talks about immigrants and the main idea is quite simple: we are all humans and we are all equal, with no regard for race and origin.“Rome wasn’t built in a day nor solely by the Romans” reads the quote on the artwork of the single.

What have the artists said about the song?

This song came about in the belly of the album. We were in full swing of Joy and the momentum of this song summed up the spirit of our union. I promised Danny [Nedelko, member of Bristol band Heavy Lungs and a Ukrainian immigrant] I’d write a song for him and him me; the tone comes from Danny, and the lyrics came as I thought of his exuberance and how important people like Danny are. I think of this one more as a humane portrait than a political song, but I wanted the two notions to be inseparable.
